PA Borough Code

The “new Borough Code” is the result of many years of input from borough officials, committee members reviewing each section, assistance from the Local Government Commission, and assessment by the General Assembly.

The new Borough Code (Act 37 of 2014) is available online below. You can search these documents by hitting "Control" and "F" on your keyboard and entering a search word.

For more information on the Borough Code changes, contact Shelley Houk, PSAB Director of Research, at 800-232-7722, Ext. 1018 or by email at shouk@boroughs.org.
